absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
I somehow did not know this!?!?!?
One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games
My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula's eyes in Castlevania

Hey btw if you don’t know how to program, you should check out [novelty], which is a free Visual Novel creation software. Absolutely no programming required, and it’s super easy to use, I played with it some when I was a teen but the only reason I didn’t do much with it is cuz I made my story complicated and had like 5000 different branching routes that kept spawning new routes and made myself confused LMAO
But yeah, it’s a WYSIWYG with a really straight-forward GUI, if I remember correctly.
It even comes with some free backgrounds and characters and stuff, and this is what it looks like:
Did I mention it’s super duper free? It hasn’t been updated since 2010, but it has basically all you’d need to make a simple visual novel.
Just make sure your DirectX runtime is updated, cuz it can act buggy if it’s outdated, but this program is so old that I doubt it’d even be an issue lol
holy shit
This is so cool? Can you imagine fanfic in this format?

@becausedragonage @ashidoodle can I recommend Choice Script? It’s like a choose your own adventure coding program. The finished product looks like this, where every option sends you down a different path:
They are literally books you can play. You can even insert your own character’s name and pronouns and that would make writing reader inserts so much easier And as a writer who can not art, writing and making dating sims and games is more convenient.
The coding is also super simple and easy to learn and all it requires other than the program files is a text editor. And just like that you can start typing up like you would your own fanfics or stories. Plus it’s very versatile so you can make your game/book as simple or as complicated as you want, and even implement stats and inventory systems.
AND CHOICE SCRIPT IS ALSO SUPER DUPER FREE. THE COMPANY EVEN PUBLISHES YOUR FINISHED GAME FOR YOU AND GIVES YOU ROYALTIES IF YOU CHOOSE TO SELL IT. THE PROGRAM STILL GETS UPDATED AND THE COMPANY PUBLISHES BOOKS EVERY MONTH INCLUDING THE FANMADE ONES. THERE’S ALSO A FORUM FOR PEOPLE TO POST WIPS AND TALK ABOUT CHOICE SCRIPT AND GET HELP.
star-the-weeb
And there’s Ren'py, also for visual novels!
ask-the-egos
Holy shit
Ooooof I’m gonna use thessee
For any burgeoning digital storytellers/narrative game devs out there! :)
Also good ol’ Twine is incredibly easy to learn for text games with multiple choices! You don’t even need to deal with images if you don’t want to and it works in the browser (there’s also a downloadable version) and it generates html files that you can play in your browser.
Anyway if you want excuses/community for making visual novels NaNoRenO is about to start (March2022 for those reading this message in the future.) on itch.io (like nanowrimo, but about visual novels!)

Y’all make Vincent out to be this perfect guy who’s never done anything wrong as if my ass didn’t watch him stalk and kill a whole group of teenagers
if y’all do that shit I’m gonna assume you’ve never watched House of Wax and that you’re lying if you say you have and also l + ratio + stop infantilizing disabled characters + your takes suck + you can’t gauge how bad Bo or Vincent are and compare it bc they’re doing it themselves or turn a blind eye to it when the other does something so they’re both just as bad + you can’t make Vincent and Lester to be saints and then Bo to be the devil incarnate bc that’s dumb they literally are all guilty + did you even watch the movie + your mama + deez nuts

the babyfication of slashers with tragic backgrounds will never not perplex and baffle me
I’m not talking about people wanting to make characters fluffier for self indulgent reasons, I get that, but when you say stuff like “this confirmed murderer who does awful things to people is actually a baby boy who hates blood” it just makes me wonder why. why do you want to project these things onto this particular character. cant the man just be horrible
I feel like there's some overlap between babyfication/infantilizing of characters with tragic backstories, and depictions of mental illness and/or disability. A part of people that wants to say "they're not really bad because [insert ignorance here]," the implication therein being that everything they've done is justified by their physical or mental status, and that love and care could be all they need to be "fixed."
My brain's mush right now and I'm not articulating this very well but I see it a lot towards characters both in horror and other genres, and it's not cute. It's demeaning. Once you cross into murder territory, you're liable for your actions. Let bad characters be bad and stop equating mental illness/disability with innocence and helplessness. They're grown ass adults making intentionally bad choices.
